Hey there, beach lovers! Are you ready for some surf-tastic updates? Let's dive into the surf forecast for the Mariana Islands brought to you by the National Weather Service at Tiyan, Guam.

Today, the risk of rip currents for east-facing reefs is on the decline, expected to be moderate as trade winds and swell ease up a bit. However, keep an eye out for a moderate risk of rip currents for north and south-facing reefs in the coming days. Also, watch out for lightning today and tonight due to a slow-moving surface trough in the area.

Here's a snapshot of what to expect:

- **Today (6 AM to 6 PM):**
- North facing reefs: 4 to 6 feet
- East facing reefs: 6 to 8 feet
- South facing reefs: 4 to 6 feet
- West facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet
- Primary swell: East at 4 to 7 feet
- Primary period: 8 seconds
- Afternoon heat index: Around 102
- Coastal winds: East at 10 to 15 mph

- **Tonight and Thursday (6 PM to 6 PM):**
- North facing reefs: 4 to 6 feet
- East facing reefs: 6 to 8 feet
- South facing reefs: 3 to 5 feet
- West facing reefs: 1 to 3 feet
- Primary swell: East at 4 to 6 feet
- Primary period: 8 seconds
- Coastal winds: East at 10 to 20 mph

The outlook ahead includes a decrease in surf and rip current risks in the next few days as the easterly trade swell subsides. But hold onto your boards, as the swell is expected to pick back up over the weekend with the next trade-wind surge.

And before you catch those waves, don't forget to check the tide information for the next 36 hours at various locations!

Remember, always stay safe in the water—especially near jetties and reef channels. And if you encounter a rip current, swim parallel to the beach. Safety first, surf later!
